March 21, 2012 at 10:56 amHi there - Thanks for your post. There appears to be quite a bit of flucutation occurring in your readings. You did have two signfinciant vaginal dips on CD 15 and CD 18, followed by a vaginal rise which populated the pink and purple box. I'd be inclined to think ovulation occurred with the purple box. However . . . it looks like your vaginal readings are actually on the decline again. It's definitely possible that ovulation actually hasn't occurred yet and we'll see yet another vaginal rise (maybe producing a dark blue box) and then if we see continued sustained elevated vaginal readings, I'd be more inclined to think that was ovulation. Does that make sense?

March 22, 2012 at 6:36 amHi!!
Yes!! I would strongly suggest BDing today since the dark blue box indicates ovulation. They recommend BDing every other light blue and medium blue day, and every day on any dark blue, pink and purple box! With all the fluctuations in your chart, you want to always consider yourself in your fertile window until your vaginal readings remain elevated!! Hopefully we will see your vaginal readings continue to stay elevated from here on out!!

March 22, 2012 at 7:38 amThanks Ali! One can hope! My cycles fluctuate so much I am really hoping to conceive without using Clomid this time around. But we have enough going against us in the first place, I would really like to get a handle on these cycles and make sure I am ovulating!!

March 27, 2012 at 8:35 ambama101107, i only see your BBT temps, not any oral or v readings from the ovacue. But based on your BBT, it looks like you may have ovulated on cd 11, but you won't know for sure unless your temps stay on the elevated trend.

March 28, 2012 at 8:49 amOk, thanks to everyone for responding to my posts and I don't want to sound stupid, but this is the first time that I have ever tracked anything. So..... I may be tracking wrong-- I wake up every morning at 6:30am and I use a Basal Body Digital Thermometer orally (reads like you know 97.22), I write that down and either I get up and go about my normal day or go back to sleep. So, I maybe plugging my info in to the wrong place, maybe I need more help than I suspect. Just to give everyone a little insight into my situation, here goes... My DH and I have been TTC for 6 looonnnggg years (I suffer from PCOS), we have tried on 3 different occasions Clomid at 3 different milligrams with no success. I then discovered Fertilaid for women and fertile cm, which I started taking Feb. 16, 2012. Had not had a period since the end of Dec. 2011, so on March 15, 2012, my period finally started( that was also the day I went for my annual pap smear) so I am not sure if it was the fertilaid working the kinks out of my system or if it was from the wonderful annual exam (although I was already having symptoms of my period about to start). So, I started taking my temperature on day 2 of my cycle. And I hope and pray that the fertilaid helps out and that my DH and I will be able to begin our family after such a long and pain stricken journey. Thanks in advance for any advice and support.

March 27, 2012 at 12:31 pmBama - Thanks for the clarification . . you mentioned above that you take 'oral readings' which we all assumed meant along with the OvaCue. Typically, when referring to the BBT readings, women don't describe it as their oral reading. . so that is where we got confused :)
